You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police.
You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma.
It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.
@DrEmmaKatz I saw a Gdn article saying his brother is grown up and he isn’t, classic belittling of someone’s struggles ‘get over it’ ‘grow up’. I like the work he is doing to expose dysfunctional family systems…it resonates!

If you are looking for an example of the way minimisation is used as a tactic of abusive behaviour, look no further, this is a non-apology from someone who gets paid to contribute vile opinions to the #RacistBritishMedia despite their blatant #misogyny 👇🏽
Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.
Went to the library today where I saw an old lady sobbing whilst knitting. It broke my heart so I bought her a cup of tea and had a chat. She was so sad because she was so lonely. So please check in with others when you can.#KindnessMatters
Wales is eliminating profit from their children's care system - because they have listened to children and 'it's the right thing to do'.
This is a big and horizon shifting transformation for care...
So while I still hate to readjust my thinking, still hate to give up old ways of perceiving and conceptualizing, yet at some deeper level I have, to a considerable degree, come to realize that these painful reorganizations are what is known as learning.
